Changing Installation Location for MicroSIP Installed via Chocolatey
-
By default, installing MicroSIP using Chocolatey causes the install to go to an inappropriate data folder location and is only available for the admin installing user, rather than for the end users of the Windows system. Does anyone have any experience or ideas in changing the installation location so that system users can actually use MicroSIP when installed and maintained using choco?
Asking for @Dashrender and @romo as well.

I think this might work:
choco install microsip -ia "'/D=C:\SomeDirectory'" -
If you buy the software you can use this:

Obviously I'd Googled and also not found an answer. Using LTGTFY when you don't get a result doesn't exactly make much sense, because it shows that I already did all that and makes it look like you didn't want to just say that you couldn't figure it out.

I have a feeling that it doesn't because the package maintainers weren't able to figure it out, either. But I passed it on to @Dashrender who is doing a current install to see if it works for him.

TL:DR @VoIP_n00b don't be a dick

Exactly, what are the permissions on the folder? Obviously temp is a bad example, and not where you'd normally install an app for real use.

Yep, I can run the .exe from my C:\temp. You'll probably have to create a shortcut for a user tho.

yep, I just tried it - I pushed to c:\program files\microsip
and non admins can run it.
and you're right, the shortcut is put on the installing admin's desktop, and nothing in the start menu.

MicroSIP - open source portable SIP softphone based on PJSIP stack for Windows OS.
It says right on the website it’s a portable app, why would you expect a desktop icon or anything on the start menu?

There is a portable version, sure. But there is also a non-portable version.
